			Objective: I would like to find useful,<br/>
			new, salaried work, that&rsquo;s also not too dull.<br/>
		</p>
		<p>
			Because the search has been a little slow,<br/>
			is resume in rhyme the way to go?<br/>
			I&rsquo;ve programmed java, perl, and xsl,<br/>
			and maybe keywords are the easy sell,<br/>
			but life is more than punching a keyboard:<br/>
			I&rsquo;ve taught, and gardened too, and found reward.<br/>
			So: competent, at least? &mdash; I&rsquo;d hope a &ldquo;yes&rdquo;.<br/>
			A little <i>too</i> creative? &mdash; Take your guess.<br/>
			A sense of poetry? &mdash; Quite clearly, &ldquo;no&rdquo;.<br/>
			A work history can follow here below.<br/>
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>
				2010, and yet a season more:<br/>
				was back at ITA for an encore.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				2009, the library at Penn:<br/>
				I&rsquo;d planned to work as a librarian,<br/>
				and this, though temporary, seemed a fit,<br/>
				between the IT skills, and love of lit.<br/>
				<a href="http://www.library.upenn.edu/dla/">In xsl I crafted a display</a>,<br/>
				with java underneath to make it play.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				At ITA, 2006 to 8,<br/>
				on two projects did I participate:<br/>
				The first: <a href="http://needlebase.com">screen scraping for semantics, light</a>.<br/>
				Second, conventional, a travel site.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				2005, a Lowell non-profit,<br/>
				<a href="http://thecsl.org">the CSL</a>: I sys-adminned, a bit.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				2004, and earlier, a run<br/>
				of volunteering, internships. Was fun,<br/>
				but hard to summarize: I&rsquo;ll make a try<br/>
				to fit it in, and not to go awry.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				At <a href="http://islandpress.org">Island Press</a>: wrote up an export script.<br/>
				(Had been by hand, and out of sync had slipped.)<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				Two farms, a monastery: floors to sweep,<br/>
				gardens to weed, and herds of cows and sheep.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				At <a href="http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/">Carter&rsquo;s presidential library</a>:<br/>
				scanned papers so the data could be free.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				<a href="http://www.lib.umt.edu">Missoula, U of M</a>: some book repair,<br/>
				end papers, boxes, bindings, and that fare.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				At College Park (<a href="http://www.umd.edu/">a different U of M</a>):<br/>
				time teaching GIS, and tutoring them.<br/>
			</li>
			<li>
				At <a href="http://www.npr.org/">NPR</a>, the library&rsquo;s ref desk:<br/>
				I cataloged, and hunted down requests.<br/>
			</li>
	  </ul>
	  <p>
			2005, an MLS from U<br/>
			of Maryland. In &rsquo;99, a few<br/>
			years farther back, a math/geology<br/>
			BA from Carleton was my first degree.<br/>
	  </p>
	  <p>
			Of acronyms, there always are some more,<br/>
			but fitting them in meter is the chore. <br/>
